D.C. Circuit Judge Silberman released a dissent in Christiana Tah and Randolph McClain v. Global Witness Publishing Inc. and Global Witness stating that “all television-network and cable-is a Democratic party trumpet”.
Judge Silberman explicitly attacks Twitter for restricting the New York Post's Hunter Biden laptop story, complains that "there are serious efforts to muzzle Fox News," and writes that "Democratic Party ideological control" of the media is "a threat to a viable democracy."

Although the bias against the Republican Party—not just controversial individuals—is rather shocking today, this is not new; it is a long-term, secular trend going back at least to the ’70s.10 (I do not mean to defend or criticize the behavior of any particular politician). Two of the three most influential papers (at least historically), The New York Times and The Washington Post, are virtually Democratic Party broadsheets. And the news section of The Wall Street Journal leans in the same direction. The orientation of these three papers is followed by The Associated Press and most large papers across the country (such as the Los Angeles Times, Miami Herald, and Boston Globe). Nearly all television—network and cable—is a Democratic Party trumpet. Even the government-supported National Public Radio follows along.
